"Da Coconut Nut" is a song composed by Filipino national artist Ryan Cayabyab for the band Smokey Mountain in 1991.
[citation needed] The song became part of the concert programs of choirs in United States after a deal in July 2008 allowed its publication in the choral arrangement in Randy Stenson's Santa Barbara Music Publishing of California catalogue and performed in the American Choral Directors National Convention.
[6] In July 2017, when a video of the Baylor University School of Music Men's Choir performing the song before airline crew and passengers in Emirates Airlines' plane cabin became popular,[1] the choir stated that it had been singing the song since 2010.
"[9] Philippine Daily Inquirer editor Rito Asilo characterized the song as a "wackily irreverent novelty hit".
[11] "Da Coconut Nut" was covered by the Filipino girl group Bini as their pre-debut single.
